Airstrike at Baghdad airport kills Iran’s most revered military leader, Qassem Soleimani, Iraqi state television reports

BREAKING: It was not clear who carried out the strike, but the death of Soleimani, the Iranian Quds Force commander, seems certain to send tensions soaring between the United States and Iran. This story will be updated.

Defense Secretary Mark T. Esper said Thursday that Iran and its proxies may be preparing renewed strikes on U.S. personnel in Iraq, even as the Trump administration increases the number of troops in the region to guard against what it characterized as sustained Iranian aggression.

“There are some indications out there that they may be planning additional attacks,” Esper said at the Pentagon, a day after members of an Iranian-linked militia, Kataib Hezbollah, withdrew from the area around the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad following their assault on the diplomatic facility.

“So do I think they may do something?” he said. “Yes, and they will likely regret it.”

The attempted siege — in which militiamen threw molotov cocktails, stormed into a reception area and then established a camp outside the sprawling American compound — marked the most intense flare-up in U.S.-Iran tensions in Iraq since the end of the Iraq War in 2011.

The incident has strained relations with the Baghdad government, which has sought to maintain stable ties with both its chief Western backer, the United States, and its powerful neighbor, Iran, and the violence posed a new test of the Trump administration’s hawkish policy against Tehran.

Hours after Esper made his remarks, a suspected drone strike killed a senior Shiite militia figure traveling in a vehicle near Baghdad airport Thursday night. The strike, which the militias were blaming on the United States, could signal a sharp new escalation of tensions in Iraq between the United States and Iran.

A statement from the Popular Mobilization Forces, the leadership of the umbrella organization grouping Shiite militias, said the strike targeted a convoy of two vehicles, killing the group’s head of protocol, Mohammed Ridha, along with an unidentified number of “guests” whom he was escorting from the airport.

There was immediate speculation that the guests may have included Iranians who traveling to Baghdad through the airport, where U.S. troops are based alongside Iraqi security forces. Hisham al-Hashemi, a political analyst close to the government, tweeted that three Iranians were among the dead.

There were reports of gunfire erupting in the airport vicinity at the time of the strike, and the Iraqi Army command said three Katyusha rockets, which are typically fired by Iranian backed militias, exploded nearby.

Qassem Soleimani, the powerful head of Iran’s Quds Force, was killed in an airstrike at Baghdad International Airport, Iraqi TV and three Iraqi officials officials said Friday.

The officials said the strike also killed Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, the deputy commander of Iran-backed militias known as the Popular Mobilization Forces.

A spokesman for the PMF, also known as Hashed, said the US was responsible for the strike. US officials did not immediately comment on the strike, which came hours after Defense Secretary Mark Esper said the US was ready to step up activities to push Iran-backed forces out of Iraq, including pre-emptive strikes.
